PT 49, S2, P18- Nature Evolves

I'm having some trouble finding a way to distinguish B from E. Both answer choices appear to be saying the same thing, with E being the correct answer.

Any help would be appreciated.

Re: PT 49, S2, P18- Nature Evolves

Thanks, Matt. That's very helpful, I didn't notice the best understanding language the first time around.

PT46, S2, Q10 - Air traffic controllers and nuclear power

I'm a bit confused about this one... I chose C as the answer and can't seem to understand why that is the wrong answer. This is a pretty straightforward argument: Premises: Air traffic workers aren't allowed to work long hours because doing so would jeopardize lives. Doctors in residency training ha...

Re: PT46, S2, Q10 - Air traffic controllers and nuclear power

Thanks for the explanation, I overlooked that detail the first time around. I know we went over this in my class but I guess I just forgot about this rule. In general, are most questions asking for necessary or sufficient assumptions? I remember my teacher saying that its an 80/20 split but I just c...

PT47, S3, Q24 Police Commissioner: Last year our city

I'm having trouble seeing the difference between answer choice D and E. Both are additional pieces of information not mentioned in the question prompt that would weaken the argument. Any help would be much appreciated.

Re: PT47, S3, Q24 Police Commissioner: Last year our city

Ahh yes, I seemed to have misunderstood how answer choice D related to the argument. Looking at it again, it's actually fairly straightforward for a question that late in the section.

Thanks for the help!

Q21 - Designer: Any garden and adjoining

I'm having a bit of trouble understanding the rationale behind this one... I narrowed it down to B and D but can't find a way to eliminate B despite the explanation you gave here. According to the information, in order for the effect (the garden and living room visually merging into a single space) ...

Re: PT 54 S2 Q20 Of the various food containers...

Hi, I'm still a but confused about why this makes answer choice E something that can be inferred from the information provided. Just because certain recycled styrofoam containers do need to be washed that doesn't mean that all of these containers cannot be effectively prevented from coming into cont...

But isn't it implicit in Max's conclusion that he believes that this is the only way to relieve overcrowding? He states that such moon colonies will almost certainly be built and severe overcrowding on the earth relieved. If he believed there were alternatives to moon colonies, how could he be so co...

PT 56, S4, Passage 2, Q14 Honeybees

Hi Atlas, I'm having some trouble seeing why answer choice (A) isn't correct for this question. The question prompt says that the passage most strongly suggests that the fact that honeybees exist only to nurture relatives is X... I chose (A), "was not known to be true before the 1960s." Li...

Q15 - Often a type of organ or body

I'm having a bit of a unique issue with this question. I can't seem to understand what the question prompt means. More specifically, I don't see how the last sentence in it makes any sense. "After all, whatever the difference of heritage and habitat, as organisms animals have fundamentally simi...

Re: PT61, S4, Q 25 - There can be no individual

I'm not quite sure I understand the reasoning behind that logic. All we know is that social integrity and rule of law are both necessary for individual freedom. I don't understand how you can make the jump to say that social integrity is necessary for rule of law or vice versa. All we know is that t...

Re: PT61, S2, Q15 - Often a type of organ or body structure is

Thanks, Noah. Yea, a comma there would've helped a lot as I see what the sentence is trying to say now. In a timed situation it was a bit tough to decipher but hopefully there won't be any unnecessarily complicated wording like this on the December exam.
